MS Office Forum / Excel / Printing / January 2005PRINT PREVIEWS IN B&W NOT COLOUR
OUR OFFICE HAS UPDATED TO XP AND INTEGRATED ALL THE PRINTERS ON THE SERVER WITH SPECIFIC SETUPS, BUT WITHIN OFFICE APLICATION PRINT PREVIEW NOW APPEARS IN BLACK AND WHITE ACCORDING TO THE DEFAULT PRINTER. BUT OUR I.T. DONT KNOW WHAT SETTING THEYVE CHANGED TO MAKE IT DO IT AS DEFAULT AS I USE RPINT PREVIEW FOR CHARTS AND GRAPHS VIEWING WITHIN MY MACROS IT IS A WASTE OF TIME. AS EVERYTHING IS GREY. DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A BACKGROUND PRINTER/OFFICE SETTING THAT WILL STOP IT DEFAULTING TO THE PRINTER SETUP. I HAVE HAD A LOOK AT THE TABS ON THE PRINTER PROPERTIES BUT CANNOT FIND ANYTHING SPECIFIC TO SHOW AS PER SHEET NOT PRINTER. Kevin Please turn off the Caps Lock. File>Page Setup>Sheet. Checkmark in "Black and White" and/or "Draft Quality" could cause this. Uncheck if appropriate.

The routines were working fine a few months ago on the same printer. regards kev. >-----Original Message----- >Kevin [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > >. HI! I have the same dilemma. Has some one found a solution to this freaky dilemma? I know that this same has occurred to my friend once, but he does not remember where it was fixed. And no this does not seem to be up to printer settings. Help Appreciated.

Kahva, Check Page Setup, then under the Sheet tab to see whether the Black and White box is unchecked. Rob > HI! > [quoted text clipped - 57 lines] >> > >> >. Hi, i had the same problem... It is definitely the printer driver you are using that is the problem go to start, run, printers and faxes and choose the printer. Click on printer in top left and click on properties. Click on advanced and u c the option for driver. Choose the driver tha is the same as your colleagues pc, or just keep trying different one and try your preview again. thank me later.. - boome After weeks of looking for a solution to this problem, this simple fix was almost a dissapointment. THANKS! -NKT > Hi, i had the same problem... > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > View this thread: http://www.mcse.ms/message924460.html >
